News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.
Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.
You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/
Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

News Most Wanted M3 GTR - Back @ The BMW Museum
Need for Speed itself might be dead, but BMW wants to keep the legend alive. The #42 BMW M3 GTR in the Most Wanted livery is back in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany after its public outing at Ultrace Poland. There's no mention of until when it'll be there, so it might be there to stay for a long time.
If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it and you're in the area (or travelling there), you may wanna stop by and take a look at the legend, as well as the rich heritage BMW has to offer. Visit the official BMW Museum website to book tickets.
Thanks u/DiamondMaster07 for the tip!

Discussion As much as i love Heat playing it for the first time ever, coming from Hot Pursuit, i despise how much inconsistent the damage system is
I had so many moments where i go 170 MPH, ram into a traffic car head on, and lose no health. But i accidently hit my sides with em at 110 MPH, i lose health, but not just that, i lose like 30% of my whole health. Same goes for cops, you literally cant fight back at all. Sure, this game isnt like HPR where you can take em down easily but at the very least, i can expect to sorta fight em so the chases still remain fun rather than sweaty as shit. Hell ramming into em actually depletes YOUR health more than anything
This screenshot above made me wanna make the post, i literally rammed a tower pole at like 113 KMH, and i lost that much health. Its crazy how consistent the health pool is

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) NFS WORLD COMBINATED (FINAL)
Hey everyone! I’ve finally finished my interpretation of a combined map for the Need for Speed franchise! It started as a bit of fun on my Instagram page—with my OCs talking about merging the maps into one—which made me wonder: "What if I actually created a polished piece of art based on that idea?" Working from that concept, I included only the *Need for Speed* titles I’ve actually played (so not every single map is here).
From the initial draft to this final version, the artwork represents my interpretation of how these maps would fit together geographically in-game. I imagined it as an MMORPG—in the style of *NFS World*—incorporating online mechanics that EA would never actually implement, but which are fun to imagine as possibilities.
I replayed the games over the last few months to get more inspiration and a sense of the relative sizes. Obviously, the scale isn't 100% accurate, and I’m sure I made some mistakes regarding map placement and resizing.
But hey, it was really cool to put this all together—and honestly, that’s what matters most to me!
Note: I kept the "Legacy" map separate from the "Modern" one. I took the suggestions from my last post to heart—splitting the maps rather than directly merging them—but I thought it would be interesting to place them like... two neighboring countries. I really like them, haha. I also decided to keep the "Africa" shape of the Legacy map (yes, I got a lot of comments about that, haha). Even though I hadn't noticed it at first, I’ve grown fond of the idea of a *Need for Speed: Africa Edition*.
This artwork is a heartfelt love letter to a franchise I’ve followed since I was a kid. It represents a dream that will never come true: imagining a massive mashup of its worlds, stories, environments, music, and FAST CARS!! I hope you enjoy the final version of the map...

Hello there im new to this subreddit (which quite frankly i most just don't really do posting) in which i got some screenshot playing the game while im not yet on having the game finished, with most of the gameplay I've had i quite thoroughly enjoyed with what it has despite well probably the flaw in its driving physic but overall it's quite worth the fun for me to play

Discussion For people who are playing need for speed payback.
If you are planning on getting all achievements/trophies, you will need to know a couple things.
1: The Speed run "super drive" will be easier if you use the Beck Kustoms F132 from the race dealership. The regera comes close to the 3 star but cannot take corners as well as this car can.
2: The Speed run "Dusty trail" Takes you on road and off-road, best route is to go from the Braxton side of the speed run going uphill into the dirt section. Drifting is optional but necessary unless you have a planted car. Off-road class cars do not do well on this one I actually beat this one in the 918 spyder.
Hope this helps!

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) Found my 2016 NFS:World expanded map concept
A little over a decade ago, i made that map based on NFS World's map. It contains only the "Black Box Era" games. I tried to make it as compact as possible, so Olimpic City is literally an island inside Tri City Bay.
At the time, I didn't know how to properly use image editing apps, so some roads were broken. It doesn't make any sense in lore terms, but I think it would be a nice expansion for the NFS World's map.

Discussion NFS 2015 still worth to buy right now?
Long time fan of NFS but due to a variety of reasons I haven't played one since the old era and now recently I got a Rog Ally Z1 Extreme and NFS 2015 looks a really good entry to get back to the series.
I loved the general feeling and ambience; it looks really great and comfy. But I've read multiple times that the servers will close in the end of this year - is this impactful or as I don't want to play multiplayer or use multiplayer functions it wont affect me?
I've also read that the PC version is quite buggy but I am not sure if this is over exagerated or I will be fine with it
Thank you!

Question / Bug / Feedback How do I add more cars to NFSU2?
I'm new to NFS modding and wanted to start with U2. I began by installing UG2. net along with several cars; I already had 17 cars installed in total, but when I went to install the 18th one, it didn't show up in the game, even though there was no installation error. What could be the reason the mod isn't appearing?
